Baby, a sandhill crane rescued as a chick, prefers humans to its own kind.

HEADED TO A ZOO | Baby the sandhill crane, taking a walk with Cheryl Day in March, has been moved to a new rehabilitation center on his eventual way to a zoo.The 3-year-old bird, who was raised by a human, was moved from a center near Silt to one near Del Norte. No more attempts will be made to return him to the wild.

Denver — A Greater Sandhill crane that was raised by a Colorado ranch hand and then refused to rejoin its own kind will get a new home at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha.

The crane, named Baby, will live with 75 other cranes, most of which are unable to fly because of injuries, officials said today.

“We’ll just have to see how the crane does with a captive flock,” said Dan Cassidy, general curator for the zoo.

Baby was a downy chick when ranch hand Roberto Lozano found him alone near Nucla in southwestern Colorado in 2005. Fearing dogs had killed the bird’s parents or driven them away, Lozano took the bird home.

While living with Lozano, Baby would sit on the porch, eat cat food and sometimes fly to the nearby town of Naturita and stroll Main Street. He also hung out on playgrounds.

After learning he had cancer, Lozano asked friends to try to get Baby to join other cranes in the wild, but Baby resisted, preferring human company.

Baby was then taken to a wildlife rehabilitation center, but staff concluded he couldn’t be retrained and turnedn Colorado.

Superior Court Judge Philip Moscone decreased the bail from $5 million to amounts ranging from $200,000 to $660,000 after defense lawyers argued that their clients had been employed for years and did not pose a risk to the public.

In January, San Francisco prosecutors charged eight men in connection with the death of San Francisco police Sgt. John V.

Young, 51, who was killed on Aug. 29, 1971 when two people armed with guns and dynamite stormed a police station. A civilian clerk also was injured.

Most of the men were former members of the BLA, a violent offshoot of the Black Panther Party, according to police.

Authorities allege the group robbed banks, bombed a police funeral and killed two New York City officers during a five-year campaign to assassinate law enforcement targets on both coasts.

The judge set the lowest bail amount for Richard O’Neal, a longtime San Francisco maintenance man who was charged with conspiracy but not Young’s murder.
